[0002] Disposable diapers equipped with absorbents capable of absorbing highly viscous bodily fluids such as loose stools are used primarily in hospitals and nursing care facilities to assist the excretion of people requiring care who have difficulty excreting independently (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Then, a caregiver or a caregiver changes the disposable diaper of the care-requiring person after excretion as needed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-148751 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, when changing disposable diapers after excretion, not all of the highly viscous body fluids such as loose stools are necessarily absorbed by the absorbent body, and some body fluids may still adhere to the body of the care-requiring person.

[0006] In such cases, the nurse or caregiver must remove and clean the body fluids from the body of the person requiring care, which places a heavy burden on the nurse or caregiver. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Therefore, in the present invention as defined in claim 1, in a body fluid suction device for suctioning body fluids such as loose stools and phlegm discharged from the body using a suction tube, and separating, collecting and disposing of the suctioned body fluid in a collection container, the collection container is connected to the suction hose of the suction machine, an absorbent material is detachably mounted on the inner circumferential surface and bottom surface of the collection container, the tip side of the suction tube is attached to the collection container, and the base side of the suction tube is positioned inside the absorbent material.

[0008] In addition, in the present invention according to claim 2, in the present invention according to claim 1, the tip of a suction hose is connected to the top of the collection container, the tip side of a suction tube is attached to the top of the collection container, and the base end side of the suction tube is positioned inside the lower part of the absorber.

[0009] Furthermore, in the present invention according to claim 3, in the present invention according to claim 1 or claim 2, the collection container is shaped to extend vertically, and a connecting body is provided to hold the collection container vertically, and a handle is provided on the connecting body. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The present invention provides the following effects.

[0011] That is, in this invention, a body fluid suction device uses a suction tube to suck up body fluids such as loose stools and phlegm excreted from the body, and separates, collects, and discards the sucked body fluid in a collection container.The collection container is connected to the suction hose of the suction machine, and absorbers are detachably mounted on the inner circumferential surface and bottom of the collection container.The tip end of the suction tube is attached to the collection container, and the base end of the suction tube is positioned inside the absorber, so that body fluids can be easily sucked up and discarded.

[0012] In particular, when the tip of the suction hose is connected to the top of the collection container, the tip side of the suction tube is attached to the top of the collection container, and the base end side of the suction tube is positioned inside the lower part of the absorbent body, the absorbent body can absorb the sucked body fluid well.

[0013] Furthermore, if the collection container is shaped to extend vertically and a connecting body is provided to hold the collection container vertically, and a handle is provided on the connecting body, it is possible to prevent the aspirated body fluid from flowing back. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] Top view (a), side view (b), and front view (c) of the collection container. [Figure 3] (a) is a side cross-sectional view, and (b) is a plan cross-sectional view. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the body fluid suction device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, body fluid suction device 1 has collection container 4 connected to the tip of suction hose 3 attached to suction machine 2, and collection container 4 is provided with suction tube 5. The base end of suction hose 3 is detachably attached to safety bottle 6 attached to suction machine 2 to prevent backflow (prevent the inflow of body fluids).

[0017] The suction device 2 only needs to be structured to be able to suck from the suction hose 3, and to have enough suction power to suck the body fluids to be sucked (highly viscous substances such as loose stools and phlegm).

[0018] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the collection container 4 has a shape that extends vertically overall, and a lid 8 is attached to the top of a hollow cylindrical body 7 that extends vertically in a sealable manner and removably, and a handle 9 is attached to the outer periphery of the body 7 in a removably manner.

[0019] The main body 7 detachably houses therein an absorbent body 10 that is capable of absorbing body fluids and has breathability.

[0020] The absorbent body 10 has a cylindrical shape with an open top and a closed bottom, and is removably mounted on the inner circumferential surface and bottom surface of the main body 7 of the collection container 4 .

[0021] The absorbent body 10 as a whole only needs to be capable of absorbing bodily fluids and be breathable, and may be constructed of breathable cloth or paper partially coated with a non-breathable absorbent. A commercially available disposable paper diaper or the like can be used as the absorbent body 10. In this case, it can be folded and inserted into the main body 7 to form an opening at the top, thereby forming a cylindrical shape with a bottom and an open top. Furthermore, in the bodily fluid suction device 1, a space is formed at the top inside of the collection container 4, but the absorbent body 10 may also be loaded up to the top inside of the collection container 4.

[0022] The cover 8 has a hose port 11 formed at the rear thereof, which penetrates from the inside to the outside, and a hose joint 12 attached to the hose port 11. The tip of the suction hose 3 is detachably connected to the hose joint 12.

[0023] The cover 8 also has an inlet 13 formed at the front (opposite the hose port 11) that penetrates from inside to outside, and the suction tube 5 is inserted into the inlet 13 in a detachable manner.

[0024] The suction tube 5 is inserted partway through the suction port 13, with its tip side positioned outside the collection container 4 and its base end positioned at the inner lower part (bottom) of the absorber 10 inside the collection container 4. The outer peripheral surface of the partway part of the suction tube 5 is closed by the opening at the upper end of the absorber 10. In addition, a gap is left around the base end of the suction tube 5 from the inside of the absorber 10.

[0025] In this way, in the collection container 4, the opening at the top of the bottomed cylindrical absorbent 10 blocks the middle of the suction pipe 5, so that when suction is performed by the suction device 2, the pressure is lower on the outside (outer side) of the absorbent 10 than on the inside (inner side), resulting in a negative pressure state.

[0026] The gripping body 9 is removably attached to the main body 7, and has the upper end of a handle 15 extending vertically attached to the rear of a horizontal, annular connecting body 14 that can hold the main body 7 (collection container 4) vertically.

[0027] The gripper 9 is configured so that the collection container 4 can be held vertically by the connector 14 when the handle 15 is grasped. The gripper 9 may be provided with an operation switch for operating an on-off valve provided on the suction device 2 or the suction hose 3, so that suction can be started or stopped by the operation switch.

[0028] The body fluid suction device 1 is configured as described above, and by driving the suction device 2, body fluid can be sucked from the tip of the suction tube 5 attached to the collection container 4. The sucked body fluid is then absorbed by the absorber 10 inside the collection container 4, and is separated from the air sucked by the suction device 2 and collected in the absorber 10. The absorber 10 can then be removed from the collection container 4, and the body fluid absorbed by the absorber 10 can be discarded together with the absorber 10. This eliminates the need for nurses and caregivers to remove and clean body fluid adhering to the body of the person requiring care, significantly reducing the burden on the nurses and caregivers.

[0029] As explained above, the body fluid suction device 1 uses the suction tube 5 to suck up body fluids such as loose stools and phlegm excreted from the body, and separates, collects and discards the sucked body fluid in the collection container 4. To this end, the collection container 4 is connected to the suction hose 3 of the suction machine 2, and the absorber 10 is detachably mounted on the inner circumferential surface and bottom surface of the collection container 4. The tip end of the suction tube 5 is attached to the collection container 4, and the base end of the suction tube 5 is positioned inside the absorber 10.

[0030] Therefore, in the body fluid suction device 1 configured as described above, the body fluid is sucked outside the absorbent body 10 by the suction hose 3 of the suction machine 2, while the base end of the suction tube 5 is located inside the absorbent body 10, so that the sucked body fluid is sucked from the inside to the outside of the absorbent body 10, making it easy to suck up the body fluid and allowing the body fluid to be easily disposed of together with the absorbent body 10.

[0031] In addition, the body fluid suction device 1 is configured such that the tip of the suction hose 3 is connected to the top of the collection container 4, the tip side of the suction tube 5 is attached to the top of the collection container 4, and the base end side of the suction tube 5 is positioned inside the lower part of the absorber 10.

[0032] Therefore, in the body fluid suction device 1 configured as described above, the distance between the tip of the suction hose 3 and the base end of the suction tube 5 can be increased inside the collection container 4, preventing the sucked body fluid from being sucked into the suction hose 3 and allowing the body fluid to be absorbed well by the absorber 10.

[0033] In addition, the body fluid suction device 1 has a collection container 4 that is extended vertically, and is provided with a connecting body 14 that holds the collection container 4 vertically, and a handle 15 is provided on the connecting body 14.

[0034] Therefore, in the body fluid suction device 1 configured as described above, the collection container 4 can be stably held vertically, and the sucked body fluid can be prevented from flowing back, thereby improving the usability of the body fluid suction device 1. [Explanation of symbols]
